Raleigh International is a sustainable development charity. We inspire, challenge and empower young people to work with communities living in poverty.

At the heart of our organisation are volunteers; we couldn’t achieve what we do without them. Over the last 30 years, more than 40,000 people from 94 countries have volunteered with, worked at, and donated to Raleigh.

We are also a firm believer in creating partnerships with others, which is why we work closely with local organisations and community members in all the countries we operate.
Raleigh focuses on working through, for and with youth to make positive change in the following programmatic areas:

Water, sanitation and hygiene
Effective use of natural resources
Building the resilience of vulnerable communities

We want to enable young people to continue their work on these issues for many years to come so we run two further programmes:
Building a youth leadership culture
Developing Raleigh youth societies
